Stellar Divorce/Child Custody Attorney

I consulted with Janet (who I knew through a professional link) as I was preparing my final divorce papers--neither my ex-husband nor I used attorneys, but I wanted to make sure I was addressing every issue that could possibly arise, particularly on child support and custody. Janet gave me step-by-s...tep instructions for what I should include and gave me several references for books I should consult as I was preparing my summary judgment. She looked over all the papers I brought with me and marked up what she thought I should include on each. She was thorough, exceedingly helpful, and very nice throughout the whole process. I recommend her highly, especially if you are facing child custody or child support issues (I have to pay it, but she helped me structure the amount appropriately).

We worked with Janet on our Divorce

When my ex husband and I got divorced, we needed someone to help us navigate the process. Janet was extremely accessible and knowledgeable about all aspects of the process and gave us great advice. She kept everything on the comfortable level we had been hoping for. She helped us through all of th...e paperwork and all of the big and little details that needed attention.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
